Microsoft has announced that Windows Phone 7 will be GSM only in 2010 leaving behind Verizon CDMA customers much like Apple did with the iPhone. The company made the decision to delay the CDMA version earlier this year opting to target the more global GSM market instead.

Earlier this week Verizon announced that it would not have a Windows Phone 7 device until 2011. It was thought at the time that this was a setback for Microsoft; however, it turns out that phone was simply unavailable to Verizon.

"For the worldwide market, the vast majority of phones are GSM phones, so we focused on GSM first and then plan to deliver an update that will have great CDMA support in the first half of 2011," Sullivan said. "That's device availability in the first half and we're very confident of that. That's probably a conservative estimate."

"Look, we could do more things, or we could do fewer things really, really well. We chose intentionally to do fewer things really, really well. We absolutely have to build that quality first and then we have to quickly achieve reach and scale," Sullivan said.

Yesterday, Microsoft finalized the Windows Phone 7 Developer Tools and released demos of Twitter, Flixster, Netflix and other popular applications running on the new platform.

Intel has confirmed that the leaked HDCP 'Master Key', which can be used to unlock encrypted HD content, is real.

"It does appear to be a master key," said Tom Waldrop, a spokesman for Intel, which developed and oversees the HDCP technology.

HDCP is used in Blu-ray players, set-top boxes, and HD TVs to prevent you from connecting to another device to duplicate HD content.

"What we have confirmed through testing is that you can derive keys for devices from this published material that do work with the keys produced by our security technology," Waldrop told FoxNews.com. In other words, "this circumvention does appear to work."

Intel is not very concerned about the leak because "for someone to use this information to unlock anything, they would have to implement it in silicon -- make a computer chip". Then they would have to build it into a device. That is not likely to happen.

"It would be a lot of work and a lot of expense to do that," Waldrop said.

FOX notes that pirates in countries less respectful of copyright law could take on that expense, releasing Blu-ray players and televisions that bypass the licensing fees and knock a chunk off retail costs.

"We will use the appropriate remedies to address the issue, where we choose to," Waldrop said. "HDCP remains an effective component for protecting digital entertainment. It relies on these licensing agreements to ensure that implementations are done appropriately, and there are legal enforcement methods available for cases where it is done inappropriately."

According to the WSJ, the talks are still fluid, these people said, with some companies more willing to settle to avoid an antitrust case than others. If negotiations falter, both sides could be headed for a defining court battle that could help decide the legality of such arrangements throughout the U.S. economy.

Best Buy Chief Executive Brian Dunn tells the WSJ that the iPad has cannibalized sales of laptops by up to 50%.

Best Buy said smartphone sales continued to rise compared with a year ago, as did portable computer totals, buoyed by the iPad. However, television sales fell despite the rollout of new 3D models, with both average prices and total volumes notching "low-double digit" declines compared with last year. Mr. Dunn also said internal estimates showed that the iPad had cannibalized sales from laptop PCs by as much as 50%.

"It's a very different environment now," said Stephen Baker, the chief electronics analyst for market researcher NPD Group Inc. "The real cool stuff now will be the tablets, e-readers and probably the higher-end digital cameras."

Best Buy recently announced that it will expand availability of the Apple iPad with Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi +3G models to all 1,093 U.S. stores beginning Sept. 26.
